Can you describe an MMORPG that's not brain-numbingly repetitive and mediocre? Quality is not the essence of MMORPG, but Blizzard sure came pretty damn close, considering they're the industry leader in visual and conceptual design. The fact that there are around 11 million ACTIVE subscription also shows they successfully achieved the MMO part. And you are really misguided about "fan boys". You do realize all Blizzard fans WHINE ENDLESSLY ABOUT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING? Just take a look at their forums.
